Jesus spoke in John chapter 14:
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
This verse epitomizes FATHER’S Love for you and me. Every book of the Bible points to this reality in some fashion. Every prophetic Word in some manner, was to bring us to this revelation spoken by FATHER’S Son. This verse acts as a cornerstone to our entire understanding of FATHER’S Divine Intent. In these few words, Jesus expressed the roadmap to becoming one with FATHER so we must keep this Truth in mind in all aspects of our maturing process. Any study that detracts from this Truth or bypasses this revelation will cause us to veer off course and become double-minded at some point.
Isn’t our deepest desire to have a totally fulfilling life? The above verse could also be expressed “I am the Way to the Truth, to the Life promoted and fully supported by FATHER”. By THE SPIRIT, it is written in Psalm 107:
19 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, And He saved them out of their distresses.
20 He sent His Word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.
21 Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
22 Let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, And declare His works with rejoicing.
The above passage declares the importance of the Word to the children of Israel. Mankind deals with death and destruction when separated from Our Heavenly Father. History proves this unchanging Truth time and time again. When left to their own devices, Israel left the path to Life only to find themselves in need of deliverance. When man chooses to walk according to his own faculties (earthly wisdom, understanding, and knowledge), he ultimately finds his way to sickness, death, and destruction. When man finally comes to the realization that his way leads him nowhere, he cries out to FATHER in some manner.
The Beloved Disciple wrote by THE SPIRIT in John chapter 1:
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
And…
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
I believe it is critical to keep this revelation at the forefront of our consciousness at all times for it was given to us by Love’s desire to keep us on the path to Life. This revelation deals with the source of our problem- man’s ego. The sin nature promotes death and ultimate destruction whereas The Way directs us to Life. Anything that promotes the exalting of oneself over others is a subtle deception which will cause us to stumble. We must be careful when our focus is drawn away by enticing words of an alternative gospel. The straightforward revelation spoken to us by Jesus, must be kept at the forefront of our daily walk for He is the light which keeps us on the pathway to Life.
